Keep Track of the Numbers

When my children were young, I registered their growth on the hallway doorjamb with pencil marks and knife notches.

Next to each was inscribed a date and name. Since those statistics are most likely meaningless to the latter owners, I assume sandpaper and lacquer have removed that chronicle; yet I wonder if they left those markings intact, pondering periodically where went "Daniel, January 28, 1988" or "Brandon, April 7, 1989."

By the way, if you have a suggestion for a video for the newsletter, please let me know. Most of the time, that's how I find out about these.

We are always looking for people who write well, provide good content, and are inspirational. Following are a few of the most recent post from some of our guest authors.

It's easy to say resolutions don't work and leave it at that, but the simple truth is that I got distracted by fantasies of my "New Me!" results and didn't consider the effort and expense required by the massive changes I was taking on. Read the Full Post»

Everyone suffers from stress at different times throughout their day. We all know that "good" stress can peak your adrenaline and actually help increase your performance and abilities in getting a job done.

"Take some time everyday to be grateful - especially at those times when it's difficult to do so" - from the Shade of a Tree is the Very Best Shade There is

It's important to be thankful, so at the end of my newsletter, I express it publicly. With that in mind, just some of the people to whom I am grateful include: the Mastermind Alliance; Humboldt Speakers; the Northcoast Small Business Development Center, Weight Watchers International; Mike Domitrz for his support in developing my career; my guest authors; Paul Kingsman, my most recent guest on "Getting Past What Holds You Back;" Grant County, WA for inviting me back to speak to their staff; Oregon Association of County Engineers and Surveyors for inviting me to speak in June; Kathy Kendrix and Empowerment Group World for representing me; Alysa Seabrook for her help in this newsletter; Mary for signing up to work with me; as well as all the other folks who have signed up to be coached and supported by me on ThisTimeIMeanit.com; all the folks on Hatchwise for helping me with my tagline; all the folks at the NSA Facebook group for their input; all the folks on the new WW Humboldt County Facebook group for having fun with me; Ken Yeager for his help in dealing with my on-going bike accident issues; the editors of the newspapers that run my column and the websites that post it - as well as the people who read it; and of course to my family - especially my loving wife Mary Ann.

I am also very grateful to YOU dear reader, for allowing me into into your life.

I am so fortunate to come back to the Northwest not only in May, 2012 - but now again in June, 2012!I have just been invited to return to OR for another engagement on June 11, 2012

Why does this help YOU?

That schedule gives me some days with nothing to do. I'd rather use my time working with organizations or individuals who could use my help. So, if you know someone who would like great content to help:

Improve Communication

Reduce Conflict

Lower Stress

Increase Productivity

Enhance Wellness

And, oh yes, have fun!

I prefer folks who have a budget - but since I'm on the road, I'll consider certain pro-bono and "lower-fee" engagements. I will also waive my travel fees! All of this could result in a potential savings of thousands of dollars! I'll provide you whatever you need to help me. All I need is contact information and why you think I would be of help. We would need to talk just a few minutes to see if there's a potential. (You can also to someone else you think might be able to take advantage of this offer.)

TTIMI is dedicated to helping people finally accomplish the goals they've been "intending to accomplish" for a long time.

It is the hub of a supportive group of people who come together to improve their lives and help others. Using email, coaching, goal planning, motivational products, and developing affiliates and practitioners, we find non-judgmental, affordable support for each other by providing options and ideas that one person alone, might not see.
